Is Secretary of State Mike Pompeo worried about Joe Biden’s softer approach on Iran? Otherwise, why announce in the final days of the Trump administration that Iran is al Qaeda’s new home base?

The improvement in relations between Muslim nations and Israel has led to another positive change very recently. US Central Command (CENTCOM) now includes Israel in its area of responsibility. For political reasons, Israel was previously assigned to European Command (EUCOM).
I wonder how much of that $800 million in palletized cash indirectly made its way back in to the Dems (and Obama’s) coffers?
No doubt Joe and Co. will be wanting to restore the Embassy in Tehran, I can think of more than a few that I’d love to nominate for such a diplomatic mission.
Makes me glad I’m no longer an embassy guard.
Scottie, “…encourage the Biden administration…” Huh? The Biden administration isn’t going to pay squat attention to anything the American public ‘encourages them to do.’ They know better than us…they are superior to us in experience, knowledge and diplomacy…in fact, they’re just plain better than us!! All we can do is sit back and watch chaos erupt in the middle east.
My thought is he has been saying the same thing in the background, but on the way out he is giving the public the info as well.
Here’s hoping the heads in the Biden admin want to actually curtail Iran and help Israel and the peaceful countries and not go for some other goal that leads them to empowering Iran.
Remember when Trump took N. Korea by the horns? Remember how all the precious snowflakes and buttercups were sobbing uncontrollably about how the Bad Orange Man was going to get us all nuked?
Remember when Trump went after ISIS with a “full-court press” and wiped those murdering dogs off the face of the Earth? Remember how all the precious snowflakes and buttercups were sobbing uncontrollably about how the Bad Orange Man was going to really make the terrorists mad and they would kill us all?
Remember when Trump withdrew from and cancelled the nuclear arms deal with Iran because it was obvious to everyone with two or more live brain cells that no matter how much breathing room, concessions and cash Iran managed to suck up the Iranians were never going to stay bought … then told the Mullahs and the Ayatollah to pound sand? Then followed up with the Trump administration picking off Iranian terrorists both outside and inside (with a lot of help from Israel) Iran’s borders? Remember the outrage, terror and panic from the precious snowflakes and buttercups when Soulimani became a smoking hole in the asphalt?
Why is Pompeo making this announcement about Al-Qaeda now? To go on record because he knows the precious snowflakes and buttercups are going to be taking over in less than a week.
The fox is in charge of the henhouse and the lunatics are running the asylum. Buckle up, Buckaroos, it’s going to be a rough ride.
I agree with Steven Green’s sigh at the very end
So the real problem publicly is that the new administration will not say that the Trump administration had any gains in the ME. Therefore, any problem that arises out of Al-Qaeda in Iran they will state as Trump’s fault and that they now need to go back to appeasement as a “strategy”. This will include China and N. Korean policy as well. I predict RocketMan is planning a launch either to coincide with the inauguration, or shortly after. What is Dr. Jill Biden tell Joe to say about it?
Joe will listen to Jill BUT, will he remember it long enough for the information to spew forth from his pompous lips? Will his handlers allow it? So many questions…
If I were a bettin’ gal, my money would be placed on the Dems squandering.
As that sage diplomatic genius once intoned, “Gird your loins!”
I’ve always preferred “Fill your hand, you son-of-a-bitch!”
Perhaps an attempt to establish a narrative before softy Joe takes the throne… With the main stream media dug in like a tick there won’t be much even Pompeo can do to thwart the neolyberal position Joe will take…
We all know what is floating in his “throne”. It’s long past time to flush.
